Just tried it on https://www.leatherman.co.uk/
It actually works. Now, do I really need a 3rd Leatherman?
Thanks, I think. <contemplates how to hide yet another stw psa purchase>
Off topic, but multitool connected -
I'd like a tool that has:
good-ish pliers
small non-locking blade
bit driver
scissors would be nice
If I carried that and a few bits (screwdrivers, a couple of hex) I'd rarely need anything else - I really don't need to be carrying a bottle opener, corkscrew, or awl around with me all day.
Has anyone ever seen a tool like this?
Closest I can think of is the Leatherman Juice S2 with a bit driver adaptor but they’ve discontinued it.
Think you need two tools: a squirt ps4 and a micro bit driver like this one from bahco.
The uk leatherman site has a very limited range available.
Two tools! My pockets are already full!
At the moment I use a Skeletool, which is pretty much what I want except for the locking blade - which makes it a bit dodgy to keep in my bag.
The Squirt does look like it would do almost everything though (including opening a bottle! Why are multi-tool makes so obsessed with this function? Is there a shortage of bottle openers in the world?).
Is it another discontinued model? I can see a few for sale, but it doesn't seem to be available on the Leatherman site.
sorry SillySilly, I missed your post.
Yep, I think that's what I need. There still seem to be a few Juice's around so I'll see if I can get one. Cheers.
I have a skeletool which I really like, but similarly am a bit reluctant to carry it around when e.g. camping now that I know that there are potential legal issues with thr locking blade.
Squirt PS4 looks pretty useful though... might have to put that on my Christmas list!

I use it all the time, beats flicking them off with a lighter

Of course it's useful for some people - it's just the ubiquity. Some multi-tools have locking blades, some not. Some have screwdrivers, pliers, bit drivers, scissors, files, saws, wirestrippers, can openers, etc. They ALL include a bottle opener, and the manufacturers seem to be inordinately proud of this - often featuring it in the advertising.
It's as if the main problem that mankind faces is how to open a bottle, and the other functions are just an add-on.

I get what you're saying, but generally they aren't a main feature sacrificing anything else - Skeletool and Style, it doubles as a carabiner. On my Free P4, what else could be put on the driver shaft? Sometimes it's actually the can opener that doubles as a bottle opener - and it's usually rubbish as a bottle opener. In fact can opener - that's one thing I've never needed

It’s supposedly trivially simple a process to make a Swisstool legal-carry
